On February 1, 2012 , Israel Keyes kidnapped and killed 18-year-old Samantha Koenig before sewing her eyelids open for a “ransom” photo two weeks later. The haunting 2012 disappearance of Samantha Koenig , an 18-year-old Anchorage barista last seen leaving her place of work with an unknown man on a dark winter night, set off a hunt that would lead. On the morning of Thursday, Feb. 2, 2012, 18-year-old Samantha Koenig was reported missing from her workplace — a small roadside coffee kiosk she had worked the night before, alone, in. Israel Keyes was a methodical and cunning serial killer, who meticulously planned his attacks on unsuspecting victims. One of his most well-known victims is Samantha Koenig , a young woman from Alaska who tragically fell into Keyes ’ hands in 2012. Israel Keyes took his own life in 2012 after his arrest in connection with the kidnapping, rape and murder of Anchorage barista Samantha Koenig . Investigators found that his criminal history appeared to go much deeper, and he confessed to killing others. On February 1, 2012 , Israel Keyes abducted 18-year-old Samantha Koenig from a coffee stand in Anchorage, Alaska. He forced her to pose for a ransom photo before murdering her. Samantha ’s disappearance kicked off a frantic manhunt for her kidnapper who used her debit card to withdraw money across the southwest. When a keen-eyed Texas State Trooper pulled over a suspicious white Ford Focus, it was then that law enforcement got their first look at Israel Keyes. In the footage, the detectives spotted a male figure, Israel Keyes, approach the store late at night on February 1 , 2012 . He proceeded to abduct her from her workplace at gunpoint and forced her into his truck before fleeing the scene. The new book details how, according to prosecutors, Keyes abducted Koenig from an Anchorage coffee stand in February 2012, killed her and hid her body in a lake north of the city.
